Hi there, I’m South African and will be emigrating to Mexico very soon. The VW Fox was a late 80’s/ early 90’s version of the Jetta and had a Mk1 golf front end with single or dual front Mk1 front end. The original Jetta was sold in South Africa with a Euro front end till 1984. In Mexico the Mk1 Jetta is either called an Atlantic or an Atlas.
I love that car, but definitely prefer the four headlights.
you should do a head light relay kit , way better lighting to be had. Makes a huge difference at night
I believe the term you were searching for was "HOT AS BALLZZZ". Car's looking good! Tails especially so!
You right there my dude in South Africa we hade the mk1 jetta and the mk1 fox with the round mk1 lights in frant and the mk1 jetta have the light setup you busy with.
would've moved the mk1 golf before spraying anything to avoid overspray. love the vr6 mk1 though
Keep growing the stache
Car looks killer, and those GLI recaros fit it so well with the blue thing you have going on. Sorry, but double headlights are way cooler, they simply look most masculine; single lamps accentuate the "hat" look of the body. I never thought one could paint the trims when I owned mine back in early 2000's! I use to armor all every week to keep up with the fading :/
And the mk1 golf they call caribe
One of the most reliable and simplest engine VW ever made.
The mk1 Jetta(euro spec) was sold here in South Africa as a Jetta but when the Mk2 was interduces, the mk1 golf became the citi golf and the Jetta become the fox. The citi golf carried on till 2004 but unfortunately the fox didnt live long and was dropped in the late 90s. I have a 82 mk1 lemon yellow jetta
Amazing job 👍🏻👍🏻
Euro version all the way! What a transformation. I like how thorough you are with everything. Keep it up!
Just a little correction...
South African owner of a 1983 Jetta GLS. Which my dad bought new of the showroom floor nearly 40 years ago.
A Fox is a Fox, and a Jetta is a Jetta. We had both in SA, differentiated by the headlights and grille mostly.
If you have rectangular headlights (the European style) you have a Jetta. If you have round headlights (CiTi golf style, of which you get both single and double) you have a Fox.
I get so annoyed when people call my car a Fox, when it clearly isn't. Foxes were built from surplus Jetta chassis, so they are essentially the same thing, but they weren't initially sold as a Fox in SA.
Yes the heat gun trick does work well on the textured plastics. I'm a cheap ass so I used to use black kiwi shoe polish on all my mk1/ mk2/ rocco/ B3. Works extremely well and has the applicator built in to the bottle. If you want another great product for the plastics check out Forever Black. Has a similar applicator like the kiwi bottle and works amazing. The Mother's Back to Black is garbage and doesn't last at all. The only other alternative is a good trim black paint. SEM makes my favorite 'Trim Black.' Nice Euro setup, looks so much better than the US stuff. Tucked bumpers FTW when you don't have access to the Euro ones. I'm a BMW guy as well and we do the same on our e12/ e23/ e28 and e30's. Drilling the bumper pistons and driving up to a wall works wonders 😁👍💪 Now you just need to use some VHT Nightshades on the front turns for a light smoke to match the rear tails. Easy to wetsand the lights, tint and then clear after. Done dozens of sets this way and they last and look professional when prepped correctly. Lamin-x also makes smoked film that works well and also protects the lights at the same time from stone chips. I've used the 32mil thick version on countless sets of E-codes/ Hella's/ fogs, etc. Great product worth mentioning for anyone interested. Definitely a sick mk1. Would be amazing with an ALH swap.😉
Looks awesome, love those tail lights.
A mk1 beauty 👍🏻
Car looks amazing
Cool Wee car man. I love it. Both cars
I really adore that mk1 Jetta, coming along so nice.
It was very good, but I like it better with the amber taillights
For the interior centre console you just need the three gauges that fit there like we have in our models in south Africa 👍👍👍
Wait! The northamerican models had those also, I owned one and friends would ask if I installed them myself; yes, they look super-cool.
Oy vey...I'm in West Africa and we're hard pressed to hit 30 right now.
The Jetta was sold as such in SA for the early cars and then went to being a Fox after they dropped the TV lights and went to the single rounds. Now some of those parts are very cool. Think mk2 big bumper plate tubs but for a mk1. And the bumpers and front spoiler are also very cool.
Enjoy that heat
OMG I see the Sentra resemblence lol! I can't tell you how much you have turned this car around with just some careful planning and elbow grease. It's a huge transformation from when you first bought it. Fan of this car for sure! Best part is you could prolly drive this car anywhere! I forgot, does this have A/C?
Lol true about the Nissan Sentra front look...wonder if the lamps are same 🤔🤔🤔side markers certainly aint👍👍👍
Also in europe, and as i just found out also in brasil, the vw fox is a citycar, smaller then a vw polo that didn't have a lot of success...
Hot as hell this week here in the Lower Mainland. I can only imaging what those shop clogs smell like R. XD I've been waiting to see you do this to the rear bumper for ever and it does not disappoint and the Euro light conversion just brings style to the car. Well done...Can't wait to see it at the next cruise.
those taillights are from the secondary market and there are several types of models all red or smoke but I like the oem the materials are better and that grill the best good taste greetings from Mexico
I was only a kid in the early 80’s so I don’t know, did VW make the Jetta and the Fox for the North America markets?
I live in south Africa .cape town I have a Jetta mk1 aswell got some parts here at home we should chat
Congrats for your VW amazing dedication in special this mk1 , I have one Atlantic 1986 gls 1.8 automatic four doors green color , I wan swap motor and transmission, you think this is possible ? How much could be the cost ?
I can bring the car from México..... Or this is better carry with all parts and made work there.
For your attention thanks.
Great contents bro, keep it up🙏
This car is getting better every time you touch it 🤙Great content for a canicule😆 I had a hard time choosing which headlights i prefer, but theses taillights really makes the car stands out even more!! 👌👌👌
Euro version for sure!! What kolor is that? I've owned 2 MK1 GTIs, several MK2s which included a Helios GLI but never a MK1 Jetta which is still on my radar. Great looking car. ✌
When did Bora come into play?
What a difference. Looks awesome love mk1s. Love your line up of mk1s
If I want to run the Jetta euro lights in my caddy, I assume I need Jetta quarter panels?
Gli seats in a Turbo Diesel?
Any chance you could get me the dimensions of that clip for the rear beauty trim? I will turn it into a 3d printable file and make it public, they are impossible to find. I'm gonna tuck my bumpers this week, cheers.
